Abstract

Many researches have dedicated their work in IT Governance and numerous methods, techniques and tools for making decisions to align IT to a business strategy were proposed in the last decade. In the meantime new digital business models developed rapidly and aligning business with IT have become more difficult ever. Governance frameworks are widely used to reduce complexity in the decision making process and organisations tend to use several topic related governance frameworks beside IT Governance. Different governance frameworks are related, dependent and interact under each other and since they all have their own method of measurement and evaluation, the interaction suffers of a lack of data consistency or they do not take all dimensions of decision making into account. Furthermore the lack of consistency is caused by definition of governance frameworks itself and lead to concurring goals among governing bodies. This paper proposes a design goal for a method of measurement by (1) critically review the existing state of art of measurement and evaluation concepts of governance frameworks by following a comprehensive review of the normative literature dealing with the measurement aspects of IT Governance and (2) analysing a dataset (n=51) of a preliminary study done in spring 2017 with Swiss companies.

IT治理在数字运营模式中的作用

许多研究人员致力于IT治理，并且在过去十年中提出了许多方法、技术和工具来制定决策，使IT与业务策略保持一致。与此同时，新的数字业务模式迅速发展，使业务与IT相结合变得更加困难。治理框架被广泛用于降低决策过程的复杂性，除了IT治理之外，组织还倾向于使用几个与主题相关的治理框架。不同的治理框架是相互关联、依赖和相互作用的，由于它们都有自己的度量和评估方法，因此这种相互作用缺乏数据一致性，或者它们没有考虑到决策的所有维度。此外，缺乏一致性是由治理框架本身的定义引起的，并导致治理机构之间的目标一致。本文提出了一种测量方法的设计目标:(1)通过全面审查涉及IT治理测量方面的规范性文献，批判性地审查治理框架的测量和评估概念的现有技术状况;(2)分析2017年春季与瑞士公司进行的初步研究的数据集(n=51)。
